Child's Play
12:00 am, May 20, 2010
Starting with over-sized industrial pipe, fittings and custom fabricated components we are in the process of fabricating an amazing feature for a new playground project. The scale of these simple forms and the geometry of the configuration makes them instantly engaging... why didn't they have these when we were kids?!?!

What's New is Old Again
12:00 am, May 20, 2010
We spend a lot of our time working with materials, textures and finishes so that we can be in control over the final appearance of our products. This detail shot is of a mechanism that we made today for one of our Clients... fabricated today to appear as though they've always had it.
Artistic Expression
12:00 am, May 13, 2010
Always looking for new ways to work with our materials, this is an example of a metal tatoo process that we have been developing. This sample highlights the delicate and freehand nature of a process that can be both spontaneous and perminant... like a tatoo...
A Booth Grows at Amuneal

Each year we have the challenge and the pleasure of communicating the soul of Amuneal through the creation of our tradeshow installations. This year our team has carefully and thoughtfully "grown" 1000 sculptured flowers to create what we hope will be our most memorable display yet. Hope to see you at Globalshop and ICFF!

Cast System
12:00 am, January 11, 2010
We are constantly experimenting with new finishes and textures. This is a great one… that didn’t make it into the job. Our Customer described a surface quality that felt cast and porous; we developed a finish that produced this texture from a standard sheet or plate of material. Even the ones that don’t make it can serve as future inspiration.
Desk Envy
12:00 am, January 8, 2010
During a recent trip to the highpoint furniture market in North Carolina the most inspiring piece of furniture that I saw was in the lobby of a new boutique hotel. This bronze monolithic desk was installed through a stone wall and cantilevered for more than 12 feet. Really nice!
Inspirations from our childhood
12:00 am, January 5, 2010
We worked with one of our clients to explore different materials and processes to create a 17’ long monumental screen. Inspired by the random madness of the game pick-up sticks we created our own version for this installation.
